* When you use Audio Return Channel (ARC) 
function, the audio signal is output from the TV to 
the receiver.
Notes
• When the TV is compatible with Audio Return 
Channel (ARC) function, the TV sound will

• All the HDMI jacks on the receiver function in the 
same way. For example, you can connect a 
“PlayStation 3” etc., to any available HDMI jack.
Notes on HDMI connections
• An audio signal input to the HDMI IN jack 
is output from the SPEAKERS jacks and 
HDMI OUT jack. It is not output from any 
other audio jacks.
• Video signals input to the HDMI IN jack can 
only be output from the HDMI OUT jack.

Super Audio CD are not output.
• Audio signals (sampling frequency, bit 
length, etc.) transmitted from an HDMI jack 
may be suppressed by the connected 
component. Check the setup of the 
connected component if the image is poor or 
the sound does not come out of a component 
connected via the HDMI cable.
• Sound may be interrupted when the 
sampling frequency, the number of channels 
or the audio format of the audio output 
signals from the playback component is 
switched.
• When the connected component is not 
compatible with copyright protection 
technology (HDCP), the image and/or the 
sound from the HDMI OUT jack may be 
distorted or may not be output.
 
In this case, check the specification of the 
connected component.
• You can enjoy multi channel Linear PCM 
only with an HDMI connection.
• Set the image resolution of the playback 
component to 720p, 1080i or 1080p when 
you output 96 kHz multi channel sound over 
an HDMI connection.
• You may need to make certain settings on 
the image resolution of the player before you 
can enjoy multi channel Linear PCM. Refer 
to the operating instructions of the player.
• Refer to the operating instructions of each 
component connected for details.
• Not every HDMI component supports all 
functions that are defined by the specified
